During the Joseon Dynasty, governors were dispatched to each province to oversee local administration. The Daegu Gyeongsang Provincial Governance Site was a provincial government office that oversaw Gyeongsang Province during the late Joseon Dynasty. From the reign of Joseon King Taejong through the early Joseon period, Gyeongsang Province had no separate provincial office, with governors conducting circuit tours. Beginning in the 34th year of King Seonjo (1601), a provincial office was established in Daegu. The Daegu Gyeongsang Provincial Governance Site is notable for having the Seonhwadang and Jingcheong Pavilion, the central buildings of the provincial office, well-preserved in their original locations, and is recognized as an exemplary archaeological site demonstrating the administrative composition of the eight provinces following the Imjin War.
